I had the honor of organizing the launching of the Jollibee Kids Club Happy Plus Card in General Santos City on May 10, 2014 at the Activity Center of SM General Santos and I must say with pride and joy that it has been a double wave of success!

Registration started at 10:00 in the morning just in time for the mall opening. Kids tagging along their mums & dads were buzzing with excitement. Who wouldnt be? There were cotton candies, photo booth, freebies and Jollibee Food Bags waiting for them at the venue!

The fun-filled activity was hosted by a local celebrity, a kid by heart herself, host of ABS-CBN's morning show Magandang Umaga South Central Mindanao, Ms. Rhyndyll Faye Bartolaba.

Ate Dyll, as she introduced herself to the kids, taught them the "Jolly Wave" by swaying their colorful balloons on the air from left to right chanting Jollibee's name to lure him into the atrium.

Our little ladies and young gentlemen were so delighted to see Jollibee and his friends from Jollitown .Twirlie, Yum and Popo have joined the party and were entertaining the crowd with their cool dance numbers. But the kids surely have missed Hetty. They certainly know who the Jolly Friends are!

DJ Santos, Trade Operations Officer for Jollibee Mindanao flew in all the way from Cebu to announce the good news from the Jollibee Kids Club: The launching of its newest Product, The JKC Happy Plus Card.

The JKC Happy Plus Card is a membership card for children 12 years old and below that makes use of the Happy Plus Card platform. It is a reloadable, points-earning, cashless payment card.

Plus! It also entitles bearer for a chance to win P100,000.00 monthly among other freebies! For more details on how you can avail of this card and its benefits, click here.

After the launch, Kuya DJ and Ate Dyll raffled off prizes and played games. There were more dances and a shower of confetti too!

Even the Sox Bloggers, Mindanaos Funnest Bloggers, had a field day too! You gotta be more like kids anyhow!

And before the day ended, my team and I went home with happy smiles knowing we've made kids and their parents happy that day.

Thank you Jollibee for trusting me and my team . Will be looking forward to doing more events with you in the future!

My blogger friends and I were invited to the 1st Golden Boy Herrera kite Festival in Alabel, Sarangani Province yesterday by no less than the First Lady of the Province herself , Ms. Michelle Lopez-Solon.
Despite the scorching heat of the sun, we gamely agreed to go and see em kites flying. Yesterday's was an open competition for kids and teens. Kites were made of light materials like newspaper, banana leaves and twigs but you'll be amazed at how creative these flying thingy had been made!

The sky was blue and the wind was blowing just right. Seems to me like no turbulence of some sort will fail the players to control their reel and set their kites steady up there. Spectators and kite enthusiasts were swarming around the kite zone not mindful of the blazing heat of the sun.

Syempre, always the googly -giggly bunch of people that we are, the Soxbloggers had some fun under the sun too!

I think this tabanog (Kite in cebuano) and I are kinda meant for each other, teehee!

Kite flying is indeed more fun in the Philippines, even if you're "only" holding the flyer for a photo-opt! Hahaha!

The competition is set for the adults division today(May 9). I bet sleds and rotor type kites are among those flying today.As of press time, our friend Ariel Lalisan (member of the organizing team) says the battle of sizes has just begun! A mean P50,000 is up for the grabs!

Kudos to Councilor Golden Boy Herrera and the team behind the First Alabel Kite Festival! Continue to set your sail with flying colors!....uhm, in this case, Gold would be it! Congratulations!
